Did you find out? The current TV series doesn't like to be called "XX Biography".
Recently, two dramas with high attention, "The Story of Rose" and "Ink Rain and Clouds", have novel and "abstract" names. In the past, netizens even summed up the naming "routine" of domestic dramas: "A woman's story is called "XX Biography", a man and a woman are called "XX Xing", and two men are called "XX Order". Although this summary is a bit "simple and crude", it also reflects that the frequency of words such as biography, memoir, and order in the titles of film and television dramas is really a bit high. For example, "The Legend of Chosen Heaven" starring Lu Han, "The Story of Chenghuan" starring Yang Zi, and the costume food drama "The Story of Treasures" are all "remembering the family army".

This can't help but make people want to ask: Why do so many film and television dramas have words such as biography, memorial, and fu in their names? Why is the current hit drama not called "XX Biography" again? "Bumping names" but not "bumping inside" Although the "duplicate check rate" of some TV series titles is a bit high, to be honest, these names are really not messy. Let's first talk about the "biography" commonly used in all kinds of big heroine dramas. Xu Shi, a literati of the Ming Dynasty, once said in "Stylistic Discernment": "According to the word Shuyun: 'The preacher, the passer, the legend, the deeds are recorded to be passed on to future generations.'" Since Han Sima moved to the "Historical Records", it was created as a "biography", and it was always a person. In other words, the text that records the deeds of someone's life can be named with the word "biography", and the typical representative is the seventy biographies in the "Historical Records". In addition, some fictional legendary novels and notebook novels that mainly narrate history and character stories can also be called "XX Biography", such as "Water Margin", one of the four famous novels. And most of the TV series named "XX Biography" also borrowed these two uses of the word "biography". The story that tells Zhen Huan from a boudoir girl who is ignorant of the world to the queen mother is "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the story that tells Ruyi's love process is "The Legend of Ruyi". As for "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "The Legend of Miyue", the plots of these dramas also revolve around the growth process of the heroine herself, and it is not inappropriate for this kind of TV series to be called "XX Biography". Speaking of the "Ji" in the titles of plays such as "Yan Xinji" and "The Legend of Chosen Heaven", it is also a stylistic name, mostly referring to "the text of remembering things". In this regard, "Stylistic Discernment" explains that "his text is mainly narrative, and future generations do not know its body, so they take care of it and discuss it." The content of this kind of article is mainly to describe life, pavilions and landscapes, calligraphy and painting sundries, integrating narrative, discussion, and lyricism, which is the most widely used literary style by ancient writers, and the most typical of them should be the well-known "Journey to the West". In film and television dramas, most of the works in the name of "remembering" are also telling a certain story. For example, the newly aired "Yan Xinji" tells the story of Wang Jiang Xinbai (played by Luo Yunxi) of Yuejiang County and the process of investigating the case together by the female doctor Yan Nanxing (played by Song Yi), and Lu Han's "Choosing the Sky" is the main line of the experience story of the protagonist group led by Chen Changsheng "Changing his life against the sky", which is more in line with the characteristics of "remembering".
"Yan Xinji" and "Chosen Heaven" plot synopsis|Source: iQiyi screenshot There are also various "XX Fu" in the name of classical literary styles, such as "Shangyang Fu" and "Daqin Fu" in recent years. Regarding "Fu", Liu Xian's "Wenxin Carving Dragon: Interpreting Fu" explains that "poetry has six meanings, and the second is called Fu." The endowed one, the shop also; Spread the text, and write the chronicle of the body". Its main feature is that it is wanton and exaggerated. Similarly, those TV series with the name of "Fu" also have these qualities. Taking the above two dramas as an example, "Da Qin Fu" focuses on the hegemony of the Qin State to dominate the world, and the background color of "Shangyang Fu" is the power struggle and clan disputes. The subject matter is grand, the plot is full, and the pictures are all graceful and luxurious, simple and atmospheric style.

There are not only "Knife in the Snow" and "Haoyi Xing" and "Qing Hairpin Xing" that have not yet been broadcast, and other drama titles that simply end with the word "line", but also "Long Song Xing", "Moon Song Xing", "Li Song Xing" and many other "song Xing" styles, which are simply "Xingxing Xing".
Source: Weibo@皓衣行官微 @电视剧青簪行 @电视剧长歌行 Different from the previous "biography" and "record", "line" is a genre of ancient poetry, Xu Shizeng's "Poetry Discrimination" interprets "song", "line" and "song line" as: "Let go of long words, and those who are miscellaneous and have no way to say songs; The steps are galloping, and those who are sparse but not sluggish are said to be walking; Those who are both are called songs. In short, the lyrical part of the poem is called "song", the narrative is called "line", and if both are important, it is called "song line". Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred" and "Pipa Xing" are typical examples. And those TV series with the name of "Xing" are exactly the same as poetry in form, but for the sake of the main content of the narrative, it is understandable to use songs. In addition, the frequent guests of film and television drama titles also have "order", which generally means instruction and order in daily life. In TV series such as "XX Order", there is generally a thing with the role of a command as a clue and named after it. For example, in the TV series "Chen Qing Ling", the protagonist Wei Wuxian has a flute "Chen Qing" that can "command ten thousand ghosts"; In the original work "Tianyake" of "Mountains and Rivers Order", there are also three tokens "Mountains and Rivers Order" that can be gathered together to command the world's heroes; In Chen Kun and Zhou Xun's "Order to Serve the Gods", the contract between the onmyoji and the little demon of "life and death and never betrayal" is called the "Order of Serving the Gods".
Chen Qingdi|Source: Xiaohongshu @ Chen Qingling "Ling" also has the meaning of words and tunes, such as the words created by the ancient Huajian lyricists in the mainland, which are also called "Huajian Ling". Coincidentally, at the beginning of this year, there was a drama called "Flower Order". However, some people speculate that this "flower order" originated from an allusion to the "flower order". The historical prototype of the male protagonist of this drama is Pan An, who is good to see "throwing fruit and winning cars", when he was the magistrate of Heyang County, he planted peach blossoms for the local area, and was very loved by the people.
Source: Weibo @花中令官微 summarized, used in TV dramas, the plot revolves around a protagonist can basically be called "XX Biography", if you want to tell the story of a couple or a group of people, it can be "XX Notes", if you want to bring a little retro charm, use "XX Xing", the story background is very grand, it is simply called "XX Fu", and you can choose "XX Order" with something and something in the play as the main clue of the story. Of course, the boundaries between these types of naming routines are not so clear, such as "Chosen Heaven" is not impossible to change its name to "The Biography of Chen Changsheng", it depends on the preference of the producer. What is the "collision rate" of the above words, since the "collision rate" of the above words is so high, why does the producer still have such a name? This also starts with the trend of IP adaptations. In recent years, taking advantage of the integration of media, many novels and comics have been put on the big screen, and these adaptations with their own traffic have an extremely important position in the mainland TV drama market. And a large number of excellent works such as "Harem: The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Harem: The Legend of Ruyi", Yishu's "Chenghuan Ji", the greasy "Chosen Heaven", "Sword in the Snow" by the princes of the Beacon Opera, and Xia Da's comic "Long Song Xing" have all used their original names after being adapted into film and television dramas. Of course, some TV series are also aware of this problem. For example, the original novel of "Do You Know, Do You Know, Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" used to be called "The Legend of the Concubine: Minglan Biography", and the adapted drama was named after Li Qingzhao's words, which can be regarded as jumping out of the "routine" of "XX Biography".
Source: Taobao Weibo @ Know if it should be green, fat, red and thin, and some film and television dramas use "biography", "remember" and "line" These familiar faces are named in order to improve their "temperament". Nobel laureate economist Daniel Kahneman, an American psychologist, once pointed out in a study that even random and irrelevant information, once introduced into the decision-making process, can have a significant impact on people's judgments. This is commonly known as cognitive first principles – the anchoring effect, which is when people are susceptible to first impressions when making judgments about something. For TV dramas, in most cases, the title of the drama is the first impression they give people, and a good and "serious" title can make the film and television drama leave a good first impression in the hearts of the audience. But many film and television dramas are adapted from novels, and not all novels have so "serious" names. The TV series "The Story of the Rose" was originally known as "The Story of the Rose", which has been used, but the names with heavy "network sense" such as "Marrying a Daughter", "Genius Little Poisonous Concubine", "11 Agent Princesses" and "This King is Here" do not match the TV medium. In order to create the cultural taste image of the TV series, the adaptations of the above four novels were named "Ink Rain and Clouds", "Yunxi Biography", "Chu Qiao Biography" and "Walking with Feng", even if it is called "XX Biography" and "XX Xing" is suspected of "bumping into names", it is more appropriate than the original name. Among them, the word "biography" is more special, and most of the dramas with this word as the title are costume dramas, and the episodes are not short. Judging from the habit of using the word "biography", there is nothing wrong with this, and the compilation of historical records pays attention to the conclusion of the coffin, that is, "life does not establish a biography", and if you want to tell a person's complete life, at least half of your life, you can use this word. Although film and television dramas are not strictly biographies, most of them follow this "rule". Although the titles of dramas such as Ji and Fu do not strictly state that they must be used to tell a person's life, they are also long stories, so the film and television dramas named after these words are generally very long. TV series such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Ruyi" mentioned above are mostly based on the protagonist's magnificent life, with an average of 70 episodes, and the total duration of a drama is nearly 3,000 minutes. However, in 2023, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will issue regulations that "TV dramas and online dramas should not exceed 40 episodes in principle" and "take the overall amount of 1,800 minutes as the standard", and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to see such a long drama in the future.
Comparison of the number of TV episodes|Source: One ReadingSo, what is the name of the play, not only to look at the original name, but also to consider the content of the play. Of course, the name is just the "skin" of film and television dramas after all, and what really wins the audience's recognition is the quality of the work itself. In the film and television dramas with a bumper harvest of word-of-mouth traffic, there are also works that are not named "biography" and "fu", such as the Qing Emperor trilogy that tells the life of the protagonist is named "Kangxi Dynasty", "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Qianlong Dynasty", and finally gained good word-of-mouth and ratings, which can be called the classic memories of a generation. In the final analysis, it is still up to the content to win the long-term. [1] Qian Zhonglian. (2010). Dictionary of Chinese Literature. Shanghai Lexicographical Publishing House. [2] Zhang Lianxin.
